PCR Cloning Protocols From Molecular Cloning to Genetic Engineering

The advent of PCR, with its power to amplify tiny amounts of DNA, quickly spawned the development of many analytical procedures that are widely used for detection, measurement, and characterization. However, creative investigators soon discovered the power of PCR for synthetic or preparative uses. T...
